I remember typing this on an ASR-33 and being amazed. I made a computer do that. Then I hit Ctrl-C and learned how to make a paper tape with a "here is" leader, turning the paper punch off, then typing "LIST" and turning it back on before hitting RETURN.
A PDP-11/10 with 16K and 3 20mA TTYs connected, no disks, no storage except paper tape.
I've still got that paper tape somewhere, it's 42 years old now.
Had a KSR-33 wired up to a Synertek single-board 6502 kit... never did get the paper tape working, but man was it weirdly cool to be typing on a 50 pound behemoth to put numbers in the 2kB memory of a 6 ounce PC board.
10 PRINT "HELLO"
20 GOTO 10
30 END
RUN
